・About Part-time Work
Support for studying Japanese for living in Japan
As a general rule, working is not permitted for students studying abroad, but if you wish to work, you must obtain a “Permit to Engage in Activity other than that Permitted under the Status of Residence”.
After obtaining this permit, students are subject to working hours restrictions, which are limited to 28 hours per week. (Work related to adult entertainment is not allowed.)
Working will increase your use of Japanese outside of school, so it is a good way to study.
The type of work you can do will depend on your Japanese level, so if you can communicate in Japanese, you will be able to find a job in Japan eventually.
